Lord of the Rings in 1/72 scale. Rangers of Gondor.

Hobittses are sure going to meet some wolves sooner than later 
There are 1/72 resin from Nikolai. Excellent miniatures though fragile and without base.

I wouldn't want to be on the wolfwatch with those things prowling around!

They look superb

I love these wolves - such realistic proportions, and you've painted them so well!

Great photography too - I'd forgotten how tricky it is to take good pictures.

Thank you Tom. Actually, I'm using a standard pocket digital camera and then I edit the pictures with Fotor. BTW, I answered to your PM

Wolves are resin, sheep soft plastic from Pegasus Hobbies. Thank you!

Now some bears. These two bears are 3D sculpts I downloaded for free time ago and had them printed at 1/72 scale. They are not as sharp as the resin wolves but they are OK.

These bears look great, blacksmith - really big and savage!
I like the facial expressions very much, and the natural tones you've used on the fur are very convincing.

Your bestial menagerie grows!

Thank you! I did a few drybrushes on them and then several washes. It is fun painting furs 
But now I'm finally starting with the Fellowship of the Ring, so no more animals at the moment.

As there are not Hobbits or Halflings in 1/72 scale I printed these ones to make the Fellowship of the Rings. The detail is a little too much for me to paint as I cannot see well.
